Here's more than most ever wanted to know about new programs within USG...the monitoring reports are interesting and cover new programs from 2004 to present. Schools that might view a new program as competition have an opportunity to express their comments to BOR also regarding a new program.

Sounds great until you realize that you have to justify it to the BoR. Forget the BoR, first you have to convince the hill it is of critical need. What are you gonna say at the first proposal meeting, "gentlemen, if we want a great football program, we need this major!" Essentially, that is the what and why of this proposal. Or you could lie through your teeth and say "gentlemen, the state of georgia really needs more sports agents, etc!" Good luck with that.

You got a real good point. Could always sell it as it'd bring in a more diverse student body...you know, the athletes lol
